Abstract: Let

f

be a polynomial map from

m a t h b b R^{m}

to

m a t h b b R^{n}

with

m > n

. Fix a point

t_{0} i n m a t h b b R^{n}

and choose an

n

-dimensional ball

D_{t_{0}}

centered at

t_{0}

and small enough with respect to the canonical stratification of

m a t h b b R^{n}

given according to the bifurcation set of

f

. We show that the restriction of

f

to

f^{- 1} (D_{t_{0}})

is a Serre fibration if and only if certain relative homotopy groups defined for arcs on the closures of strata on

D_{t_{0}}

with endpoint

t_{0}

are all trivial. We present an example of atypical fiber of a fibration over an arc that cannot be detected by the integral homology groups of the atypical fiber and its nearby fiber, but is detected by our relative homotopy groups.
